Richarlison


Close this sentimental thread.

He will cost too much in terms of transfer/loan fee and wages.

The number of games he has missed with the type of injuries which will reoccur means this is a total no-go for me.

His injury record is WORSE than DCL and we don't want another contract for him plus goals wise, Richy - 20 goals (all comps) Vs DCL - 18 goals (all comps)

Stop kidding yourselves. It was good when it happened but we need far far better
The rate at which people will turn on him when he gets injured will be unreal.
Or when he stays down while the game is still on going, slapping the floor.
But obviously a yes from me
 
My number 1 target for upfront this summer would be Delap with Richy as the next target if a loan and option to buy was available for him but doubt levy would entertain it but who knows
I'd love to go for both. Richarlison playing off Delap would significantly boost our fire power in attack. Delap is akin to a number nine, whilst Richarlison has demonstrated his potential as a second striker in the past (notably for us). Around £40m outlay on both (Richarlison being a loan with an option to buy) would seem reasonable.
 


To play Devils advocate.

Logic dictates we move on from Richarlison, he’s hit his age resale peak, he’s prob at his development peak, he’s likely going to pick up injures increasingly based€ on miles on the clock and his style of play.

But what if we say feck the logic - we have billionaire owners, a shiny new stadium that’s going to make us money, squad costs going to go down sharply. What if our new owners want to make a P.R. signing and invest to do so, get the fans onside, shift merch, attract sponsors with a Brazilian no 9. Similar to getting the blood racing when they brought in Rom into Roma.

What if it defies logic, but our owners do it anyway, take on the cost and all the risk and a “we’re here and we get you signing”.
